Alianza Americas, a network of organizations led by immigrants of Latin American and Caribbean origin throughout the United States, rejects President Biden’s final rule that further restricts access to asylum at the southern border. “This rule continues to deny the human right to seek asylum to persons trying to enter the U.S. through the Southern Border. This final rule accepts and implements anti-immigrant narratives dehumanizing and embracing white supremacist discourses. The threshold established ignores the situations that force people to flee their countries and seek protection. It will leave vulnerable individuals and families at greater risk at the other side of the border,” says Dulce Guzmán, Executive Director of Alianza Americas

“We call on the Biden administration to reverse its course and lead with humanity and responsibility. Individuals seeking protection should not be deported or forcibly returned to Mexico. The U.S. should set an example and establish an efficient and humane humanitarian protection system. The U.S. has the resources and the capacity,” added Guzmán

###

Alianza Americas is the premier transnational advocacy network of Latin American migrant-led organizations working in the United States, across the Americas, and globally to create an inclusive, equitable and sustainable way of life for communities across North, Central and South America.
